A City Hall For Us All
STRENGTHEN AND MODERNIZE CITY HALL, PRIORITIZING TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
Our residents deserve a responsive City Hall that works for us all! Youngstown City Hall is a vital key to Reclaiming Our Identity. Together we will open up the doors to a modern, transparent and responsive City Hall that engages and empowers us all and:
- is a trusted source for good government
- is a guiding star and beacon of hope for where we’re going
- serves at the pleasure of the people of the City
- employs a committed staff, that joyously serves and promptly responds
- no longer reserves itself to default, status quo solutions
EMPOWERING RESIDENT'S VOICES, WITH RESPONSIVE, GOOD GOVERNMENT.
City Hall must demonstrate a commitment to good governance by making a commitment to empowering our people. Using a city-wide campaign to “educate the community, about the community” (done through public, in-person and online Town Hall style meetings) — what’s going on in Youngstown’s City Hall must be at the forefront of our discussions. Strategic ad campaigns, engaging social media posts and well produced print/digital marketing materials can facilitate open discussions and more. All of this will lead to the much needed, open call invitations, that involve residents in the process, and the privilege of civic engagement.
We will be an administration actively working to elevate trust, fair processes, access to tangible resources and reliable resource support for:
- engaging with our experienced city departments to better navigate processes and arrive together, at win-win-win results (for our residents, our neighborhoods and our city).
- a procedural justice around every City downtown and neighborhood initiative, grant, loan and funding opportunities.
- Fair and prompt access to relevant public government documents and resources.
- A modern and mobile-ready website to engage the tech savvy citizen.
- A clearly communicated and widely shared calendar of city events and engagements.
Reclaiming Our Identity requires a culture change and a commitment to a City Hall For Us All.
Reclaiming Our Identity around good governance means restoring the trust of the people, leading City Hall with character, integrity dignity and transparency.
